EMF Poisoning

We are surrounded by EMFs these days. The radiation is everywhere – in our computers, in our homes, in our cell phones, and in towers in our neighborhoods. EMF has certainly been linked to many negative health effects: headaches, cancer, fertility problems and neurological damage.LISTEN in for ways to protect yourself!

Mental Detox

Throwback to the Good Ol’ Days Do you remember when life was simple, and our imaginations ran wild? Remember those carefree days of being 70’s and 80’s kids? We were the masters of adventure, the champions of outdoor exploration, and the true aficionados of making the most out of every moment! Back in the day, our trusty bicycles were our ticket to freedom. No GPS, just pure instinct leading the way! Who could forget the ultimate hydration experience of sipping straight from the garden hose? It was cold, refreshing and quick so we could get back to playing. The taste of adventure, right there! Street lights were our timekeepers, and we knew it was time to head home when they flickered to life. And let’s talk about those ancient artifacts known as landline phones! They allowed us to chat with friends, while twisting the phone cord around our fingers in a rhythmic dance. No smartphones or tablets, just a world of imagination waiting to be explored. We built forts out of blankets, turned cardboard boxes into spaceships, and climbed trees until we reached the clouds. Our playground was vast, limited only by our creativity.So, fellow time-travelers, let’s raise a glass of nostalgic lemonade to those incredible days of being 70’s and 80’s kids. We were the pioneers of an era defined by real connections, outdoor escapades, and the pure joy of simple pleasures. The world has changed, but our memories remain etched in the sepia-toned pages of time. Here’s to us, the kids who truly knew how to make the most of an analog world! What are the dangers of EMF?According to the NIH, it has been found that RF-EMF can induce changes in central nervous system nerve cells, including neuronal cell apoptosis, changes in the function of the nerve myelin and ion channels; furthermore, RF-EMF act as a stress source in living creatures.A thorough report about 5G exposure has found that “this newfound radiation source is damaging the health of creatures that live in the wild.”The 150-page report, compiled by researchers at the University of Washington and Johns Hopkins University, contains three sections.– the first focuses on how environmental EMFs (electromagnetic frequencies) have radically increased in recent years;– the second part looked at how living organisms are impacted by these EMFs;– the third section focuses on EMF exposure limits and the prospect of new regulations to help better protect living beings against the harm caused by this constant flood of non-ionizing radiation.“This eloquent review gives insight into missed opportunities for cancer prevention exemplified by asbestos, tobacco, certain pesticides and now RF (radiofrequency) radiation,” said a spokesperson from the Environmental Health Trust (EHT).

Living with Tinnitus - Ep. #013

Tinnitus is not considered to be a disease but is a reflection of something being in one’s ear and brain. It could be due to:Hearing lossTrauma to the hearing apparatusCertain drugs such as aspirin and quinineBrain tumorMeniere’s diseaseInfection, fluid in the middle earExposure to loud noiseAneurysmsAllergiesAdvanced ageLow thyroid levelsDepressionWax in earStressForeign bodyRinging in one’s ear can be due to simple blockage of the ear canal or various ear conditions, infections, otosclerosis or Eustachian tube blockage caused due to allergy or virus.There are many toxic causes of tinnitus, such as heavy metal poisoning, alcohol, antibiotics, quinine, and especially aspirin.Other causes:ArteriosclerosisHigh blood pressureAnemiaHypothyroidismNerve injury due to noises or pressureVarious diseases of the nervous systemSuggested SupplementsGinkgo biloba is an herbal supplement used to treat a number of conditions, including tinnitus. Among homeopathic remedies, it’s one of the most widely studied.

Living with Migraines - Ep. #012

A migraine is a neurological disease, and is much more than just a headache, with symptoms that include nausea, dizziness, fatigue, and increased sensitivity to sound, light, or smells. If you think you may be suffering from migraines, be sure to see your primary care doctor or a specialist who can appropriately diagnose you and rule out any other causes.Here are several home remedies to help treat some of the symptoms of migraines.1. Add magnesium Adding a magnesium supplement to your diet, in doses of 400 to 500 milligrams a day, can help prevent migraines according to the American Migraine Foundation. The supplement may avert the occurrence of aura, a type of sensory disturbance, as well as light and noise sensitivity.2. Take vitamin B2A small 2015 study found that 400 milligrams of vitamin B2 daily reduced the frequency and severity of migraines with minimal side effects compared to sodium valproate.3. Have caffeine Some studies have found that caffeine may help treat migraines. However, a 2019 review found that chronic caffeine intake seemed to increase the chance of migraines — in particular, the Cleveland Clinic recommends limiting yourself to 150 to 200 milligrams of caffeine daily. 4. Use hot or cold remediesApplying heat or cold can help relieve migraines, according to the Mayo Clinic.When applied at the onset of a migraine, a frozen neck wrap significantly reduced pain, according to a small 2013 study. Placing a heating pad on your head or neck may also help to relax your muscles, which can relieve tension and the migraine itself. 5. Avoid lightSince migraines increase sensitivity to light and sound, the Mayo Clinic recommends relaxing in a dark and quiet room. Try to sleep if you can. 6. Exercise regularly Exercising regularly can help reduce the risk of migraines by reducing anxiety, depression, and obesity, according to the Mayo Clinic. Check with your doctor to see what types of exercises they recommend and how often. 7. Get more sleep Sleeping well is essential if you suffer from migraines, since a lack of sleep can trigger an attack.Good sleep quality comes with going to bed at the same time every night, waking up at the same time every morning, and having a quiet and comfortable sleep space. 8. Consider peppermint oilA 2010 study found that the menthol in peppermint is a safe and effective treatment for migraines without aura. Apply to the forehead and temples at the first sign of a migraine. 9. Take melatoninMelatonin is a hormone that helps with your circadian rhythm, making you feel tired at night and more awake during the day.A 2010 study found that migraine patients had abnormally low levels of melatonin. The research suggests that taking a melatonin supplement — up to 3 mg per day — could help with migraines.Common migraine triggersKeep a migraine journal to determine what your triggers are so you can avoid them. When you get a migraine, jot down the date, time, what you were doing, your symptoms, anything you ate, and how you’ve been sleeping. According to the Mayo Clinic, common migraine triggers include:MenstruationPregnancyMenopauseAlcoholToo much caffeineStressBright lightsLoud noisesStrong smellsLack of sleepJet lagIntense physical exertionSexual activityWeather changesCertain medications such as oral contraceptives, nitroglycerin, and vasodilatorsSkipping mealsSalty or processed foodsAged cheesesFood additives like MSG and aspartameWhat Foods are Good for Headache Relief?1. Leafy greens leafy greens are good for headache reliefLeafy greens contain a variety of elements that contribute to headache relief. For example, research has shown taking magnesium can reduce migraine pain because many migraine sufferers have low magnesium levels.The Journal of Headache and Pain reported a study that found a combination of folic acid, B6, and B12 reduced migraine symptoms. The National Headache Foundation reported on a European study that found vitamin B2 could reduce migraine frequency.Following are some of the leafy greens that contain all of these elements and a variety of other anti-inflammatory antioxidants.KaleSpinachCollard greensTurnip greensBroccoli2. Nuts nutsNuts are rich in magnesium, which soothes headache pain by relaxing blood vessels. They also contain a significant amount of vitamin E that research has shown can help control migraines with aura and migraines triggered by hormonal fluctuations.For some people experiencing a headache, immediate relief is found by eating a handful of almonds or other nuts.AlmondsWalnutsCashew nutsBrazil nuts3. Fatty fishfatty fishFatty fish is rich in omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, which are anti-inflammatory foods. They contain B vitamins, including riboflavin (B2), which has been shown to help manage migraine attacks.Research also found that salmon contains coenzyme Q10 and vitamin D, which combined provided migraine relief.SalmonCodMackerelHalibut4. FruitsfruitsSome fruits are rich in magnesium and potassium. Research is continuing, but some studies suggest potassium may help alleviate migraine pain by contributing to healthier nerve functioning.Bananas are good for headaches because they deliver a dose of potassium, magnesium, B vitamins, and complex carbohydrates, all of which contribute to reducing headache pain. If a headache is due to dehydration, the fruits containing high water content can combat headache pain.ApricotsAvocadosBananasFigsRaspberriesMelonCantaloupeWatermelonHoneydew5. SeedsseedsThe following list of seeds contains omega-3 fatty acids which fight inflammation. They also contain significant amounts of magnesium, which may help prevent blood vessel spasms.Medical research continues to explore blood vessel spasms due to constricted blood vessels as a possible migraine trigger.Poppy seedsSesame seedsPumpkin seedsSunflower seeds (without natural flavors)Chia seeds6. Whole grainswhole grainsWhole grains contain complex carbohydrates, and they work to increase glycogen stores in the brain. They help relieve headache pain because low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) can trigger headaches.One study found a correlation between iron deficiency anemia and migraines in women. Whole grains provide a wealth of nutrients that include vitamin E, B vitamins, iron, coenzyme Q10, magnesium, and fiber.QuinoaBarleyBuckwheatBulgurWhole oatsWhole grain bread7. LegumeslegumesLegumes contain protein and fiber that help maintain blood sugar levels and magnesium and potassium to relieve blood vessel constrictions.Legumes also supply coenzyme Q10, which may, per a study, reduce the number of days a migraine lasts. All of these nutrients can help relieve headache pain.LentilsBeansPeasSoybeansChickpeas8. Hot peppershot peppersHot peppers contain capsaicin, which numbs the brain’s trigeminal nerve and inhibits the neurotransmitter responsible for causing migraine pain.They may also relieve cluster, tension, and other headaches. Besides, eating hot peppers can help open up clogged sinuses, causing a sinus headache. Hot peppers also contain vitamins C, A, B, and E.JalapenosHabanerosCayenneAnaheim9. Small amount of coffee or teateaOne or two cups of coffee or tea each day may provide headache relief, especially if it is a headache triggered by a lack of caffeine.Caffeine can decrease the size of blood vessels, enabling better blood flow. The key is to find a balance and not consume too much caffeine. Too much caffeine can trigger a headache.10. GingergingerGinger contains a natural oil with chemical compounds important to helping headache sufferers find relief. It increases the chemical messenger serotonin, and that reduces inflammation.A medical research study on ginger powder found it significantly decreased headache severity in patients with acute migraines without aura.Ginger spiceGinger powderGinger teaGinger supplement11. ChocolatechocolateDark chocolate that is at least 70 percent cacao contains a high amount of magnesium and riboflavin. Both nutrients help manage migraines by assisting with the relaxation of blood vessels.A medical study also found that people who intake a higher amount of tryptophan (a serotonin precursor) daily reduced their odds of developing a migraine by 54-60 percent. Chocolate contains tryptophan and serotonin. (PMID: 32110888)12. BeetsBeets are rich in nutrients like manganese, potassium, vitamin C, and folic acidBeets are rich in nutrients like manganese, potassium, vitamin C, and folic acid.Studies showed that migraine patients who consumed 2 mg of folic acid, along with vitamins B12 and B6, experienced better results in reducing their migraine symptoms compared to those who received only 1 mg of folic acid with the same vitamins. This suggests that the folic acid content in beets could potentially contribute to managing migraine symptoms.13. MushroomsMushrooms may help with migraines and headaches due to their potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant propertiesMushrooms may help with migraines and headaches due to their potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.Some studies suggested that certain compounds found
